Quotations
Happiness
Those with indomitable spirit are the real successes in life. If you can so train or condition your mind that you are content regardless of what you have or do not have, and if you can stand the challenge of all your trials and remain calm, that is true happiness.
-A Spiritual Leader "Paramahansa Yogananda"
It is pretty hard to tell what does bring happiness; poverty and wealth have both failed.
-Kin Hubbard
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.
-John Lennon
One must believe in the possibility of happiness in order to be happy, and I now believe in it. Let the dead bury the dead, but while I'm alive, I must live and be happy.
-Leo Tolstoy

Let us live happily, we who have no impediments. We shall subsist on joy even as the radiant gods.
